I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the Republic
for which itstands --one nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all.

THE AMERICAN’S CREED

I believe in the United States of America
as a government of thepeople, by the
people, for the people;whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed;
a democracy in a republic;a
sovereign Nation of many sovereign States;
a perfect Union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles
of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots
sacrifice their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to
love it;to support its
Constitution;to obey its laws;to respect its flag;and to
defend it against all enemies.
